The
Redfern Gallery is proud to present a
magnificent new collection of paintings
created at nature’s most inspiring
locations by nationally acclaimed
American Impressionist Gregory Hull.
Hull is
an artist who holds a prominent position
in the realm of contemporary “plein air
painters”. With his impressive formal
education, dedication and longevity as a
fine artist, Hull’s paintings are highly
sought after by his collectors. He is an
artist who is genuinely at home with
nature, traveling to distant areas,
discovering inspiring locations and
capturing nature’s most magnificent
examples of beauty and majesty. He
continues to experiment with his own
personal style and aesthetic language,
using a masterly arrangement of color,
form and composition.
Gregory
Hull’s work is represented in numerous
personal and corporate collections
throughout the United States.
Prominently displayed at the Kierland
Westin Hotel and Spa in Scottsdale,
Arizona is a monumental achievement, a
triptych series of paintings depicting
the Grand Canyon. Another major painting
by Hull is featured in The Meadows Del
Mar Country Club as the resorts
signature painting. He also dedicated a
year to a major project for Nestle USA,
creating a series of thirty paintings,
which were received with tremendous
acclaim. The Montage Resort and Spa in
Laguna Beach prominently displays in the
main lobby Owens Valley, a
stunning painting of stately cottonwood
trees as part of their permanent
collection.
Gregory
Hull is a highly talented artist who
continues to excel at his chosen
profession with vigor and determination.
It is with great pleasure that The
Redfern Gallery presents this
outstanding exhibition entitled “In
Search of Light”.

Henry Salem Hubbell
(1870-1949) |

Tender
Moment
24 x 36 inches |
An artist
known for his impressionist
portraits, Henry Salem Hubbell’s
Tender Moment is an elegant
and graceful example of
the distinguished work he is famous
for. Born in Paola, Kansas in 1870,
he began his art studies at the Art
Institute of Chicago and began his
career as a magazine illustrator in
the 1890s. He went on to study at
the Julien Academy in Paris with
Jean Paul Laurens, Louis Collin,
Benjamin Constant and James
Whistler. Hubbell was one of only
several students whom Whistler
thought of highly and who predicted
that someday “the world will know
him as a colorist”. In all of
Hubbell’s work, color is an
outstanding
characteristic.
He lived in
France from 1898 to 1910 and was
part of the American Colony of
Impressionists at Giverny from 1908
to 1910. While there he became
friends with Claude Monet and
Frederick MacMonnies and taught
students from Providence, R.I. at a
school run by Mary Wheeler. He went
on to head the School of Painting at
the Carnegie Institute of Technology
from 1918 – 1921 and was one of the
founders of the University of Miami,
teaching there from 1925 – 1940s.
Along with his
figural works, he also received
numerous prestigious commissions for
portraits including four from
Franklin D. Roosevelt. His paintings
were purchased by the French
government, William M. Chase bought
his painting “The Poet”, “Le Cocher”
was purchased by E.T. Stotesbury and
was presented to the Union League
Club in Philadelphia. “The Samovar”
was presented by Baron Rothschild to
the art museum of Lille, France. His
paintings are held in public and
private collections in Paris, London
and America.
